Saints' Hill, Murray out for divisional-round game vs. Bucs

The New Orleans Saints will be down two offensive contributors for Sunday's divisional-round game, as quarterback Taysom Hill and running back Latavius Murray are inactive for their bout against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hill is battling a knee injury, while Murray hurt his quad during last week's win over the Chicago Bears.

Both players didn't practice all week and were listed as questionable heading into Sunday's matchup.

Hill is a key member of head coach Sean Payton's offense as a jack of all trades. While also ready as Drew Brees' backup, the 30-year-old rushed four times for 15 yards and caught two passes against Chicago.

Murray averaged 4.5 yards per carry and scored five touchdowns this season as New Orleans' No. 2 running back. Being without him will likely mean more touches for Alvin Kamara, with Ty Montgomery receiving a few snaps behind him.

The Saints are looking to defeat Tampa Bay for the third time this campaign after winning the NFC South matchup in Week 1 and Week 9.
